00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,120
thank you to hypx for sending us to PX Prime 2015 this year check out their

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,679
Cloud 2 gaming headset in the video description down below also thank you to

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:12,679
ASUS and Corsair welcome to no actual booth in

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:18,840
particular what we're checking out right now is the Oculus cv1 or consumer

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,279
version one and the valve HTC Vive combo

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:25,560
thing what I came to PX Prime 2015 expecting to do was have a head-to-head

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,119
between these guys in terms of tech specs but that doesn't seem to be the

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,840
really important thing here which is a little abnormal for me I'm used to being

9
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:37,280
like well has this resolution screen and this refresh rate on the screen all this

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,640
kind of stuff that's great they're both kind of getting to a point where it's

11
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:45,800
it's okay it's obviously not great it's not the ideal VR experience people still

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,199
want higher resolution people still want higher refresh rate because then it will

13
00:00:47,199 --> 00:00:53,039
feel more immersive and look more realistic you can still kind of see that

14
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,920
the graphics aren't that amazing because frame rate is super important in VR so

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:02,879
you need kind of lower settings and higher frame rate and a really beastly machine we know all this kind of stuff

16
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:07,080
so okay what is it coming down to well as you guys know killer apps is super

17
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:12,560
important Oculus right now has a valkyrie gear VR has some from Eve as

18
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:16,759
well and valve HTC Vive has a whole bunch of their own killer apps coming up

19
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:22,759
it's going to be kind of that whole console PC gaming War thing all over

20
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:26,520
again even though they're both on PC because it's going to be okay well this

21
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:31,040
one is hooked into this one specifically and yeah that's kind of a problem to be

22
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,799
completely honest I'm hoping that they merge libraries because then people are

23
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,880
going to be able to get the experience from the hardware that they want and be able to play whatever game they want but

24
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:42,079
I don't know how true that's going to be in the end we've seen it time and time

25
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,799
again people are like oh yeah we're going to get rid of exclusives and then

26
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:50,840
they super don't so I don't know we'll have to see now Hardware experience

27
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,399
there is some stuff I can say here the main differences are about the sensor

28
00:01:52,759 --> 00:01:59,920
the Oculus has a sensor that sits in front of you and looks at its IR LEDs

29
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:03,920
and that's actually pretty good but only kind of condenses you into either a

30
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,680
sitting experience or a standing experience in a fairly small square you

31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,959
can still stand and move around a little bit but really not that much the Vive

32
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:16,040
gives you much more freedom you can move around in a much larger area and have it

33
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,319
still be relatively accurate because there's sensors that will go up on the

34
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:24,480
walls in kind of the corners of the room and track you there the problem with

35
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:29,120
this is it's less consistent and harder to set up harder to set up uh the first

36
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:33,879
demo I did for the vibe was at NVIDIA on the first day early on and none of the

37
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:37,879
demos that I tried worked every single demo I tried had a critical failure at

38
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,680
some point in time during the demo also the HTC truck that was outside the

39
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,640
convention in a parking lot had so many problems that they had to shut down

40
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:48,239
partway through the day another booth that I tried it at a Seuss they had it

41
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:53,080
going on but I tried them much later on so they were able to kind of fix some of

42
00:02:50,519 --> 00:02:55,360
the bugs it's an interesting idea a lot of you guys out there are going to be

43
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,720
tinkerers and you're going to be able to work on this stuff and set this stuff up

44
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:04,080
and that's cool you'll have no problem but other people are going to want the the more simple experience I don't know

45
00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:07,360
if I can condense these two Brands into simple experience and more complicated

46
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:11,280
experience yet they're not out yet we'll have to see but that's kind of how it's

47
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:14,760
looking for now I'm excited hopefully you guys are too we'll have to see in

48
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:19,440
2016 how this war ends or some might argue begins anyways thanks to hyperx
